Artist Statement:
Salvatore Pecoraro’s career as
a California Artist/Teacher

Between late 1969 and January
1971, he then created the
ambitious 365 Skies 1970, made
up of 365 foot square vacuumed

Pecoraro took a color-slide
photograph of each day of 1970
at different times and places
in California. The slide was
used as the reference for
creating an acrylic painting
duplicating each day of 1970.
When all 365 skies are
assembled in calendar order
vertically, this work is 7
feet high by 52 feet wide,
depicting a sky for each day
of the year in chronological
order. Throughout the early
1970's, he ...
